Hiezechielis Prophetæ 6

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 fili hominis pone faciem tuam ad montes Israhel et prophetabis ad eos

Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,

3 et dices montes Israhel audite verbum Domini Dei haec dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus rupibus et vallibus ecce ego inducam super vos gladium et disperdam excelsa vestra

You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.

4 et demoliar aras vestras et confringentur simulacra vestra et deiciam interfectos vestros ante idola vestra

And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.

5 et dabo cadavera filiorum Israhel ante faciem simulacrorum vestrorum et dispergam ossa vestra circum aras vestras

And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.

6 in omnibus habitationibus vestris urbes desertae erunt et excelsa demolientur et dissipabuntur et interibunt arae vestrae et confringentur et cessabunt idola vestra et conterentur delubra vestra et delebuntur opera vestra

In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.

7 et cadet interfectus in medio vestri et scietis quoniam ego Dominus

And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

8 et relinquam in vobis eos qui fugerint gladium in gentibus cum dispersero vos in terris

But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.

9 et recordabuntur mei liberati vestri in gentibus ad quas captivi ducti sunt quia contrivi cor eorum fornicans et recedens a me et oculos eorum fornicantes post idola sua et displicebunt sibimet super malis quae fecerunt in universis abominationibus suis

And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.

10 et scient quia ego Dominus non frustra locutus sum ut facerem eis malum hoc

And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.

11 haec dicit Dominus Deus percute manu tua et adlide pedem tuum et dic eheu ad omnes abominationes malorum domus Israhel qui gladio fame peste ruituri sunt

This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.

12 qui longe est peste morietur qui autem prope gladio corruet et qui relictus fuerit et obsessus fame morietur et conpleam indignationem meam in eis

He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.

13 et scietis quia ego Dominus cum fuerint interfecti vestri in medio idolorum vestrorum in circuitu ararum vestrarum in omni colle excelso in cunctis summitatibus montium et subtus omne lignum nemorosum et subtus universam quercum frondosam locum ubi accenderunt tura redolentia universis idolis suis

And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.

14 et extendam manum meam super eos et faciam terram desolatam et destitutam a deserto Deblatha in omnibus habitationibus eorum et scient quia ego Dominus

And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
